Default fixing a crack in my avenger

How do I fix the crack in my hull? It doesn't seem to be to bad I'm hoping it won't be to bad to fix.

Sand it back with some 80 grit paper, then fill it with some gel coat using a piece of plastic to cover the area while it sets (gel coat needs to be void of air to set properly), then use fine sand paper to finish it off & fair it in. You will also want to check the inside of the hull for any cracks, if there are any, sand it back & put a layer of fibreglass over it to re-enforce the area.
